I've been listening to the LiveATC and the pilot confirms at one point that it is an electrical fault. At least that's what they said to the controllers.

MSY ATC recording has pilot indicating fire crew should check from begin wing to 3rd door. From a very quick listen, I think he said that is where a lot of the high load wires are, but it's getting late in Europe already so apologize if I misheard.

I had to do some real work for a few minutes; back listening to the MSY feed now.

Approach, Can you let me know if the fire guys have a discrete frequency down on the ground?

This sort of setup has been in the design of IFE systems for many years now. Not a new thing.

While the design may not be new, I found my IFE on my UA dreamliner flight to be especially finicky. It froze numerous times requiring the FA to reset it. And I have flown many times on pmCO 772s and 752s with their similar systems, so this really seemed to be specific to the 787. I spent the flight hoping the rest of the electrical systems were not so temperamental.

InsideFlyer was created by travelers, for travelers. Here you can discover and share your experiences related to travel and frequent flyer programs with business travelers, leisure travelers, infrequent flyers and road warriors alike.

InsideFlyer is a privately funded venture based in Colorado Springs, CO (affectionally—the House of Miles). We’re a small diverse group of experienced frequent flyer experts, travel community builders, technologists, and friends of the flyer who want to help you learn to be an expert traveler. We believe that learning about frequent flyer miles should be as fun as travel itself.
